alternative camera apps for default?

I love the cyanogen roms but hate the stock camera app, is it possible to get like the galaxy s camera app, the sense one or droid x app to work on cyanogen? and I know about vignette, and stuff but they arent something id use EVERYDAY.

[Q] [Wanted] Stock email app

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me. I was playing with the Inspire and one of the things I really like is the stock email app. Would someone be able to pull that out of a ROM as an standalone app that I can install on an Atrix?

Won't work. The Sense framework needs to be in place for Sense apps to work.

-and it is a Sense app? Dang....
Thanks

CM7 & MIUI Camera apps installed simultaneously?

EDIT: You know what, i appologize for this, at first glance i saw "camera" on miui's rom, but then saw MIUI Camera... Sorry to waste this space, i'll update if all works well.
I want to install the MIUI camera app onto my NS4G running CM7 Rev4 because of the touch-to-focus feature, but since the MIUI camera doesn't support the front-facing camera, i want to have them both installed in case I would like to use the ff camera.
I understand the camera.apk for both cameras are listed in the app drawer under "camera" so I was hoping someone would be able to change the name of one of them slightly so they could both be installed together.
Am i blowing hot air here? cuz i feel like it shouldn't be too difficult to do (not for me, but for someone who has experience with apk decompiling/compiling).
I also understand the 2 different camera apps have different frameworks (ie: with the wrong framework, the settings feature in MIUI camera won't work). So additionally, can the framework apk for the 2nd camera app be adjusted as well, so both camera apps will work completely?

turns out just pushing the MiuiCamera.apk over to a CM7 ROM doesn't work. Not sure what else has to be done, if someone could take a crack at it would be great

is there a way to pushing the apk to CM7 #21 ?
i just put the apk in the system\app folder named miuicamera.apk
and it disabled my stock camera aswell

[Q] How install the SGS2's camera app ?

Hi everybody,
Before the Nexus S, I'd the Samsung Jet, nice phone with a very good camera application, especially the panorama option.
Unfortunately, on the nexus the camera app is really simple, and I can not find a good application with panorama option.
So I've tried to install directly the camera.apk coming from the SGS2 on my phone, but it seems to be impossible :-(
Anyone knows how I can get it?!
I suppose that it's impossible to install the ROM of the SGS2 directly on the nexus that there are both Samsung's products....
Thanks
Nico

You can't. The Galaxy S2 uses TouchWiz.
TouchWiz 4 needs to be ported onto the Nexus S in order for the camera to work.
This is a PURE Google device.

Thanks for your quick answer
So I need to have TouchWiz 4, if I want to install the camera app....
But I though it was just a launcher, no?!

You need the touchwiz framework not only launcher which is not ported

No. That was not ported, that was just taken from the ROM and put on here. It was just a coincidence that the launcher doesn't rely on the Framework.
All of the Samsung code apps like Phone/Contacts/Browser/Camera/etc all use code from something known as a framework. Without that framework, it won't function. And the framework is specifically designed for THAT particular phone and won't work on any other phone.
The framework is also closed source. So it becomes complicated to port. Is it doable? Yeah.
Would I count on a dev to port it and make it fully working and fast? No.
If you dislike the stock camera, look for alternatives. MIUI Camera (apart of the MIUI framework, Camera 360 (app), etc.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
I've already tried others version of camera but I didn't find yet the good version.

Question Alternative camera app?

I'm still on stock ROM, rooted. The default camera app is missing some features I used regularly on my old phone.
Are there any recommended alternatives? I have Open Camera installed and it seems to work fine and has more features. Any better apps?
Also, can anyone tell me how to change the default camera app for things like the lock screen camera launcher? I can't find a default setting for it.
